Apple
fans who want a bigger screen without carrying around a larger phone
should check out the iPhone X, pronounced “iPhone 10.” Because Apple has
reduced the size of the border that frames the screen, the iPhone X’s
display covers nearly the entire front of the device, meaning Apple was
able to enlarge the screen while keeping the overall device smaller than
the iPhone 8 Plus. It’s also the first iPhone to use an OLED panel
rather than LCD for the display, giving the Phone X better contrast than
Apple’s other mobile devices.
But the headlining feature on Apple’s top-of-the-line
iPhone is Face ID, a facial recognition system. Owners can use Face ID
to unlock their iPhone X and authenticate Apple Pay purchases, as well
as use special features in certain apps. The 12-megapixel dual camera on
the iPhone X is also tough to beat, especially when it comes to
capturing outdoor photos and selfies. Above all else, the iPhone X
stands out for its elegant design, sharp and vibrant screen, and quality
camera.Buy now: iPhone X, $999, Apple

The iPhone X may be Apple’s flashiest iPhone, but
don’t underestimate the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Both share some of
the improvements found on the iPhone X, such as a new glass back that
supports wireless charging and Apple’s new A11 Bionic processor (meaning
you performance won’t suffer if you choose the cheaper model.) Unlike
the iPhone X, neither of these phones include facial recognition, and
they both still have the Touch ID home button. But that could be a
benefit, because you won’t have to learn a new method of using your
iPhone.
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are solid choices for Apple
fans who are upgrading from a an older phone, like an iPhone 6s or 6,
and just want something that feels newer and faster. Those who need
extra screen space and want the dual camera setup for taking photos in
Portrait Mode and with better zooming capabilities should opt for the
Plus model.Buy now:iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, $699/$799, Apple

It may have taken a few years, but Samsung finally
perfected the curved-screened smartphone with its Galaxy S8 and Galaxy
S8+. Like several popular phones that were launched in 2017, the Galaxy
S8 and S8+’s screens are virtually borderless. But Samsung’s devices
include a less common characteristic: the screen subtly folds over the
left and right edges of the phone, making the frame around the screen
appear more seamless than on rival devices.
One of the Samsung Galaxy S8’s best changes, however,
is how much simpler the software is compared to previous Galaxy models.
The Galaxy S8 has a tighter, simpler look than the busy software on
previous Samsung devices. And unlike the Apple iPhone, Samsung’s new
phones have both iris and fingerprint scanners for unlocking the device.
The Galaxy S8 camera is roughly on par with that of
the Galaxy S7; you can expect generally rich colors and good overall
performance. The battery life is also long enough to comfortably last
throughout an entire day, but that will vary depending on how you use
your phone.
All that said, Samsung’s Galaxy S9 is right around
the corner, so it may be worth holding off a little while. That way, you
can decide whether to spring for the latest and greatest model, or opt
for the S8 at what will probably be a discount compared to today’s
prices.Buy now: Samsung Galaxy S8/Galaxy S8+, $724.99/$824.99, Best Buy

Google’s most recent flagship smartphones represent a
major step up from the first-generation Pixel. With an excellent,
much-improved camera, a clean interface that’s simpler those found on
most smartphones, and some useful software enhancements, Google’s newest
Pixels are certainly worth a look.
The larger Pixel 2 XL model includes a 6-inch screen
with a higher resolution of 2880 x 1440 compared to the standard Pixel
2’s 5-inch 1920 x 1080 screen. The Pixel 2 XL’s screen isn’t just
bigger, it also occupies nearly the entire front of the phone with
barely any visible border, like the Galaxy S8 and iPhone X.
But both phones have the same camera setup — a
12.2-megapixel sensor and a f/1.8 aperture lens — which I found in some
cases was able to shoot better photos than the iPhone X and Samsung
Galaxy S8. But perhaps my favorite aspect of the Pixel 2’s camera was
its Google Lens feature, which turns the camera into a real-time object
identification tool. Pointing the phone’s camera at an object or
landmark and tapping the Lens icon prompts the phone to pull up more
information about the subject.
What most sets the Pixel 2 apart from its rivals are
its navigation shortcuts and user interface. The Pixel 2 has a new
feature called Active Edge, which makes it possible to summon the Google
Assistant just by squeezing the phone’s bottom edges. The phones can
also display the song title and artist name of music playing nearby.
Overall, the Pixel 2 is a worthwhile choice for Android fans and
potential iPhone switchers that care about having a quality camera and
easy-to-use software more than facial recognition technology.Buy now: Google Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL, $649/$849, Best Buy

For hundreds of dollars less than the Samsung Galaxy
S8 and roughly half the price of the iPhone X, the OnePlus 5T’s price
alone is enough to catch your attention. But what’s even more impressive
is that a phone this cheap, which costs about the same price as the
first generation iPhone did in 2007, is actually quite good.
Phones costing less than $600 usually come with some
major compromises, but the OnePlus 5T barely has any. Its large AMOLED
screen is sharp enough to make photos and videos look great, even if the
1080p screen isn’t downright dazzling like those of its pricer rivals.
The OnePlus 5T’s dual camera captures crisp and bold photos, and can
even shoot in Portrait Mode like the Plus-model iPhones and iPhone X.
During my usage, the OnePlus 5T’s fast-charging battery was able to
replenish its power from 48% to nearly 100% in just about a half hour.
The downside, however, is that the OnePlus 5T is not compatible with Verizon
or Sprint. In terms of design, the OnePlus 5T also lacks some of the
originality older models had, looking more like any other mid-range
smartphone you might find. But AT&T and T-Mobile subscribers who want to save some cash should seriously consider this phone.Buy now: OnePlus 5T, $499, OnePlus
